New Year Honours for Newey and Mansell
31 Dec 2011

Renowned Formula One designer Adrian Newey and 1992 world champion Nigel Mansell have both been named on the UKs New Year Honours list which rewards achievement or service to the country.

Newey, Red Bulls chief technical officer, receives an OBE (Officer of Order of the British Empire) for services to motorsport, while Mansell picks up a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) for services to children and young people in his role as president of charity UK Youth.

Neweys Red Bull cars have won the constructors championship for the past two seasons and he has previously designed machines that have taken titles for Williams and McLaren, including the Williams FW14B that powered Mansell to his 92 crown.

Mansell, already an OBE, was famed for his committed racing style during a Formula One career that spanned 15 years and featured 31 Grand Prix victories, 32 pole positions and 30 fastest laps.
